  • I watch a lot of old tv and I see communities here for that but they seem to lean towards newer media - reddit has all kinds of niche subs that get traffic and interaction for the stuff I like. Unfortunately its not worth it to be there for it cause so many people are there to just troll/make things difficult for people.

    I also like make up and J-fashion. I saw no communities for either and the closest I saw was a goth community which isn’t geared towards the fashion, but the music side of it.

    Really like having local communities too. I’m in Portland, OR which has several sub reddits - but there are communities here that seem to get no interaction, just posts with links.

    Also artwork, I’m an artist and looked around at the art communities here. Nothing really stood out. It seems to be reposting other people’s art or just art that doesn’t fit on other sites so nothing that I actually like, where as I have to get that mostly on tumblr anyway. That’s the only place I seem to find artwork I enjoy and fanart. I’m really shocked there isn’t a fanart community here. I supposed I could start one but then I run the risk of reposting artwork and needing to credit everytime and the inevitable risk of me just posting and no interactions. (if you’re not familiar, some artists don’t like reposts even if they are credited for it)

    When I use the lemmy explorer, I find a lot of communities like that too. Seems to be one or two people posting, no posts get comments.

    There’s also radio shows and podcasts I listen to and I don’t see any communities for those either but I think those are like some really niche interests of mine and I was shocked that Phil Hendrie had a sub reddit even, the guy is so unheard of.

    I guess not liking mainstream stuff is really shooting me in the foot but like, I can’t help what I like?
